Technology and Equipment at Unprecedented Levels- According to the
Israeli newspaper Hareetz, “It is worth mentioning that in the
1980s, regardless of Jonathan Pollards’ espionage activities for
Israel, Israeli companies and individuals were involved many cases of
technological espionage, steeling U.S. secrets, technology and
equipment. The most outstanding case involved Milco, a U.S. based
company owned by Israeli tycoon Arnon Milchan, which bought and
shipped equipment with which could have also been used as triggers
for nuclear weapons.” Recently released FBI documents revealed that
current Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was integrally

Fox from network TV to cable csm/ Offshore financial industry leak
exposes identities of 1,000s of holders of anonymous wealth from
around the world David Leigh The Guardian Millions of internal
records have leaked from Britain's offshore financial industry,
exposing for the first time the identities of thousands of holders of
anonymous wealth from around the world, from presidents to
plutocrats, the daughter of a notorious dictator and a British
millionaire accused of concealing assets from his ex-wife. The leak
of 2m emails and other documents, mainly from the offshore haven of
the British Virgin Islands (BVI), has the potential to cause a
seismic shock worldwide to the booming offshore trade, with a former
chief economist at McKinsey estimating that wealthy individuals may
have as much as $32tn (£21tn) stashed in overseas havens. In France,
Jean-Jacques Augier, President François Hollande's campaign
co-treasurer and close friend, has been forced to publicly identify
his Chinese business partner. It emerges as Hollande is mired in
financial scandal because his former budget minister concealed a
Swiss bank account for 20 years and repeatedly lied about it. In
Mongolia, the country's former finance minister and deputy speaker of
its parliament says he may have to resign from politics as a result
of this investigation. The Caribbean micro-state has incorporated
more than a million such offshore entities since it began marketing
itself worldwide in the 1980s. Owners' true identities are never
revealed. Even
the island's official financial regulators normally have no idea who
is behind them. The British Foreign Office depends on the BVI's
company licensing revenue to subsidise this residual outpost of
empire, while lawyers and accountants in the City of London benefit
from a lucrative trade as intermediaries. They claim the tax-free
offshore companies provide legitimate privacy. Neil Smith, the
financial secretary of the autonomous local administration in the
BVI's capital Tortola, told the Guardian it was very inaccurate to
claim the island "harbours the ethically challenged"./paisley

Conservatives love, for example, to quote from a stirring speech
Reagan gave in 1961, in which he warned of a grim future unless
patriots took a stand. (Liz Cheney used it in a Wall Street Journal
op ed article just a few days ago.) “If you and I don’t do this,”
Reagan declared, “then you and I may well spend our sunset years
telling our children and our children’s children what it once was
like in America when men were free.” What you might not guess from
the lofty language is that “this”, the heroic act Reagan was
calling on his listeners to perform, was a concerted effort to block
the enactment of Medicare. These days, conservatives make very
similar arguments against Obamacare. For example, Senator Ron Johnson
of Wisconsin has called it the “greatest assault on freedom in our
lifetime.” And this kind of rhetoric matters, because when it comes
to the main obstacle now remaining to more or less universal health
coverage, the reluctance of Republican governors to allow the
Medicaid expansion that is a key part of reform, it’s pretty much
all the right has, the old trick of blaming the needy for their need
doesn’t seem to play the way it used to, and especially not on
health care: perhaps because the experience of losing insurance is so
common, Medicaid enjoys remarkably strong public support. For all our
talk of being the land of liberty, those holding one of the dwindling
number of jobs that carry decent health benefits often feel anything
but free, knowing that if they leave or lose their job, for whatever
reason, they may not be able to regain the coverage they need. Over
time, as people come to realize that affordable coverage is now
guaranteed, it will have a powerful liberating effect, what we still
don’t know is how many Americans will be denied that kind of
liberation, a denial all the crueler because it will be imposed in
the name of freedom pknyt/Repugs hold him up to be a hero. There's no
doubt that Repug policies damage the country. "The nominal

has occurred between their depository arms and their unregulated and
